My Comfort Zone

I’ve talked about experiencing power interruptions for months before but we’ve been enjoying no interruptions after that for like three months. And now, here it comes again. We’ve had power outages for half an hour to an hour since yesterday and it’s really annoying with the weather that we have and it has been so hot lately, about 30 degrees Celsius which is really hot. The AC is on almost all day and when there’s power outages, we can’t do anything but use fans instead.

I wonder what’s the problem this time. Before, they said it’s because of power shortage. Hope the authorities will be able to fix the problem soon enough because it can really be uncomfortable having no power and definitely annoying.

A typhoon known as Ondoy hit Luzon and damaged Metro Manila last week. The devastation that it brought has been in the headlines since and watching it is really heart breaking. They are so pitiful especially those kids who managed to sleep on the sidewalk with no blankets that would keep them warm.

The water is waist deep in some parts of the metro but worst in other parts wherein the water almost reached the roof of a one-story house. It’s really shocking seeing those people in those situations and I feel lucky for myself for not being able to surpass the trials they are going through now. All I can do now is help them through my prayers. I know it’s a nightmare for them but I know it’ll be over soon.

And it can really be irritating most especially if you have things to do online like chatting with my BA perhaps. Yes, there were already times that we weren’t able to chat because of the power interruption. More often that not, the interruption occurs late in the afternoon until early evening which is, unfortunately, our scheduled time to chat. Call that ironic!

As i’ve heard on the news, power shortage is the reason behind the interruptions and I think we’ll be experiencing it for the next couple of months still. Oh well! We can’t do anything about it but be patient. It’s beyond our control anymore, anyway.
